Selection - Player Availability Process
To ensure smooth and fair team selection, all players must keep their availability up to date in the club’s Google Docs spreadsheet. This allows captains and the selection committee to plan effectively.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Open the Spreadsheet
• The link is available in the club WhatsApp group or via any of the captains.​
​
2. Find Your Name
• Locate your name in the left-hand column of the sheet.
​
3. Update Availability
• Use the dates listed at the top of the spreadsheet to find the correct week.
Enter one of the following in the relevant box:
-
Y for available – the square will turn GREEN
-
N for unavailable – the square will turn RED
-
? if you are unsure/confirm later – the square will turn ORANGE
4. Update Regularly
• You can confirm your availability for the entire season in advance if you wish.
• You may change your availability at any time by editing the spreadsheet.
​
5. Deadlines
• All players must ensure their availability is up to date by Wednesday at 18:00 each week.
• If you fail to update your status by this deadline, you may not be considered for selection that week.
​
6. Responsibility
• Keeping availability current is the responsibility of each player.
• Failure to update availability repeatedly will affect your selection chances and may result in being treated as unavailable.
​
Important Reminder:
Accurate availability is vital for ensuring fair selection and balanced squads. Please respect the deadlines and update promptly to support your team and captains.
